What is NOT a change that occurred as a result of the shift from hunter-gatherer to agricultural societies? 

A)  specialized occupations and long-distance trade 
B)  increased competition for resources 
C)  equal work distribution among people 
D)  growth of villages

The shift from hunter-gatherer to agricultural societies brought about significant changes such as specialized occupations, long-distance trade, increased competition for resources, and growth of villages. However, one change that did not occur was an equal distribution of work among people. The introduction of agriculture allowed for the production of surplus food, which meant that some members of the society could specialize in other tasks such as metalworking, pottery, and weaving. This led to the development of social classes and inequalities in work distribution.
